Need help with exterior condition

I am looking at repairing wood rot damage to this beam at the rear of the house. I understand easiest way to fix is to dig it out and use a wood hardener with epoxy filler sand then paint. My main concern is whether it is structural as there is no outriggers or structural fascia to support the rafter and overhang. Will I need to cut and replace and stitch a new piece in and secure with a 12mm bolt or the epoxy fill will be fine? Any help would be appreciated submitted by /u/Rhinoch1 [link] [comments]
